When a dead whale makes its final fall to the floor of the ocean, far from the light of the Sun, its considerable remains become a feast for the creatures in the dark. Such a generous gift f
34、rom above creates a new ecosystem where life can exist for decades at depths below 1,000 metres from the surface, where the water pressure is extremely high and light never comes in.
